51 results found for: Periprosthetic joint infection
In several recent award-winning studies, researchers relied on MicroGenDX’s next-generation sequencing DNA diagnostic testing (NGS testing) to precisely test infections for the presence of key compounds. Without NGS testing, there is a potential that these researchers would not have been able to adequately detect these various substances, which would hinder their ability to conduct their respective studies. What Is Next-Generation Sequencing DNA Diagnostics? MicroGenDX’s next-generation sequencing testing is a type of molecular diagnostics that “extracts DNA from a sample to look for the presence of more than 50,000 species of bacteria and fungi in its database.”1 This process ensures that […]

Science Direct Research Article: A proportion of patients with osteoarthritis undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty have organisms identified in their joint by NGS at the time of surgery. Organisms identified after TKA by NGS when concern for periprosthetic joint infection exists may represent the native microbiome rather than pathogenic microbes. Read Article…
The landmark 14-Site study on the role of Next-Generation Sequencing in Periprosthetic Joint Infections has been acknowledged by the journal as being one of the ten that “will have the greatest impact on patient care.”…
